Bandstand and Colonnade at Grand Parade, Eastbourne
Leslie Rosevere made this addition to the seafront in 1935. It revived the earlier Neo-Grec style and consists of a long colonnade faced in faience of various colours with a circular bandstand topped by a shallow blue roof. There are columns of the Tuscan and Composite orders. Facing the bandstand are two covered viewing areas. The "stylish and ambitious" structure replaced one dating from 1899.
